Beautiful New War On Drugs Video, Stream the Album While You’re at It

Damn you, Urban Outfitters, for this exclusive content. It’s bad enough that you lured me in that one time with that overpriced summer dress I thought only existed in my wildest, romantic urban fantasies, but I guess I will just have to put aside my hipster-y materialist self-loathing (is it so terrible that I, too, just want to look like I stepped out of a prize-winning mumblecore film?) to admit that the new, Urban Outfitters-produced music video for Philadelphia’s The War on Drugs is beautiful.

Inspired by New Zealand artist Len Lye, “Come to the City” was shot on film in a field on the outskirts of L.A., a place director Peter Brant told Urban Outfitters gave him a sense of cinematic, impending doom. Of course, the music, from the reliably excellent War on Drugs, makes it. Frontman Adam Granduciel told Urban Outfitters that their new, second full-length album, Slave Ambient, which comes out August 16, has been four years in the making, and he’s described it as a particularly personal collection of moments. You can listen for yourself and stream Slave Ambienthere.
